My new boss is a CEO Billionaire who hired me to be a nanny for his son.

This should have been easy for me considering my experience with children. Except the man I’m working for is Thomas Ford. A man I never thought I would see again, especially not 5 years later.

Now, I live in his penthouse in the city.

I refuse to cross the line because one, he’s my boss and two, I don’t do relationships anymore.

It’s hard to deny this man when his touch lights my body on fire. I told myself I wouldn’t risk losing my job by giving into temptation but all it takes is one night in his kitchen and I am done for.

But who am I kidding? I was a goner that first night.

Review

I often steer clear of criticizing the writings of a book, because writing is something that can be difficult and finishing a book is a huge accomplishment. And mostly, if other aspects of the story stand out, I’m able to look past writing. However, That First Night, to me, suffered due to the poor writing.

Thomas and Peyton meet at a bar, and have a steamy encounter, and don’t see each other for several years later. And that encounter had seemingly impacted them for those years that they just can’t get over each other. I personally didn’t believe that they had made that much of a connection or had that much chemistry with each other to still be head over heels when they see each other five years later. There was a lot of telling rather than showing with the two of them.

And then Thomas. Thomas just felt like a cartoon character. A parody of a bachelor in a romance novel. A terrible parody, if we were being honest. I didn’t enjoy being in his POV. It just felt odd that a billionaire got excited about free drinks at a charity event. And not to mention that some of the conversations with his brothers just felt very disrespectful to women.

There were several times where Peyton and her friends would have a conversation. And then the next chapter Thomas and his brothers would have the same conversation. It got repetitive.

Final Thoughts

That First Night wasn’t an enjoyable read to me. The relationship felt forced at times, and relied too heavily on Thomas’ son, who often spoke like a ten-year-old rather than a three-year-old. In addition, individually the characters felt lackluster. There is little to no character development.
